Antonow’s Blue Honey Bush

This is no ordinary plant—‘Antonow’s Blue’ Honey Bush is big, bold, and unapologetically dramatic. With massive, jagged, blue-green leaves that shimmer in the sunlight and contrast against striking pink stems, it demands attention. Crush a leaf, and you’ll catch a whiff of peanut butter, adding an unexpected sensory twist to the experience. In warm climates, it throws up tall, deep red flower spikes that bees and butterflies flock to, followed by ornamental seed pods. Reaching up to 6 feet tall and wide, this exotic, architectural beauty brings instant drama to borders, containers, and tropical-style gardens. Cold climate? No problem. Grow it as a show-stopping annual or overwinter it indoors. Either way, it’s a statement piece you won’t forget.
